    Very impressed with Riva Davia driving school. My daughter just finished her 3rd and final driving…read morelesson with them and immediately passed her DMV license test. The instructors were really helpful in her journey. Some points I found particularly impressive: 1) they took her on the highway for the first time, this felt safest for us all (having someone who could take over if needed at high speeds!) 2) on one occasion they pulled over and instructor drew on paper how and where to begin a turn in an intersection. this visual demo really stuck with her and was helpful. 3) on her last lesson, they drove to the DMV test to get test day specific help including where to go, what roads they might be driving on, what are some areas others often get tripped up. there were other examples of really helpful lessons but I cannot remember. I also liked that this company in particular was incredibly easy to book an appointment with! others I found were booked out too far in advance. they also always showed up on time and used the full lesson time. All in all, I highly recommend!

    I had an amazing experience with Yancarlos and passed my first behind the wheel test with him!…read more I'm new to the US and have a license from another country, but wanted to have a couple of classes before attending a test since some rules are different here and I needed to get used to it. Yancarlos explained all the rules thoroughly, took me to the test area to drive around to make sure I understand the possible errors and prepared me in every possible way. He's also great to talk to, and it was great to spend the test day with him while waiting in the Daly City DMV line. Highly recommend to all drivers, novice and experienced alike.

    Juan was a great instructor with many years of experience. He helped me go from never driving at…read moreall to passing the exam on my first try. His feedback is direct and if anything needs to be explained in detail, we would pull over and he would draw a diagram to help me understand. He picks you up and drops you off at your home which was also helpful. We started in a parking lot and worked our way up to more complicated environments as I got more confident. He also has a specialized car with breaks on his side which also made me feel at ease while behind the wheel. Highly recommended!

    I would not recommend this driving instructor. My experience included:…read more* Frequently 20-30 minutes late to lessons (and occasionally excessively early without notice) * Never provided two full hours of driving -- he counted his travel time to my location as part of my paid lesson * Canceled lessons or failed to show up as agreed * Used paid lesson time to run personal errands (AT&T, T-Mobile for phone issues) * Drove to the Mission District during my lesson to collect money from someone who owed him * Had me pick up another student during my lesson or placed me in the car while another student was driving * Made comments I found misogynistic and racially insensitive * Repeatedly called me a "slow learner" and labeled me dyslexic instead of offering constructive instruction The most alarming part happened around the date of my driving test. We had clearly confirmed a Saturday lesson at the DMV to prepare. He did not show up. When I contacted him, he insisted it was scheduled for Sunday, despite text messages confirming Saturday. On Sunday, he arrived late. Then on the actual day of my driving test (the following Monday), he was again about 30 minutes late. I had to call him -- he was asleep. Being forced to track down my instructor on the morning of the driving test is not what anyone expects from a professional service. Instead of helping reduce stress, his behavior added to it. By the end of this experience, I did not feel supported, respected, or professionally instructed.

    Adding my 5-star review. Confident Driving School is for all ages and level of driving skills…read more Being a well seasoned driver I reluctantly bought a bigger 2025 model vehicle for safety reasons. Jeddy answered the call. He understood exactly what I needed without me going into detail. Jeddy covered everything on my list. I'm much more confident parallel parking my rather large vehicle. That was my main concern. Thought I had to learn the basics all over agai, i didn't. Confident Driving School is is current with the times.

    I PASSED my driving test today and I owe it to Leo!…read more A colleague sent me Leo's way in October when I mentioned my driving anxiety and honestly, it was the best professional recommendation I've ever received. Previous attempts with family and another instructor hadn't worked. Leo's patient, non-intimidating approach changed everything. He's not a helicopter teacher. He observes, guides, and gives optimistic feedback without taking full control. I never felt judged or belittled - just supported and encouraged. In just 4 sessions, Leo helped me: - Navigate busy San Francisco streets confidently - Drive on freeways (something I never thought I'd do!) - Master driving test prep strategies that worked His scheduling is flexible, he's always punctual, and his teaching genuinely builds confidence. If you're nervous about driving or need a fresh start, Leo is your instructor. Highly recommend!
